Do You Act Big Even When Others Act Small? - 0 views

  • So when someone behaves in a way that you find hurtful or offensive, see it for what it is: a huge whopping statement about how they feel about themselves. We all come across people in life with a strong need to prove their superiority - whether intellectual, moral, societal, financial or otherwise.

Bring on board the factors that contribute and affect the dynamics in your area of discpline or expertise and see how you could plan for the challenges which the three scenario paths present.

      not all people within the community have the same degree of interest or engagment in what you do, but they could be moved along to be inspired: hence, the power law of participation: http://cli.gs/gJHv2u

2020 Forecast: Creating the Future of Learning - 0 views

  •  
    "The 2020 Forecast is a tool for thinking about, preparing for, and shaping the future. It outlines key forces of change that will shape the landscape of learning over the next decade. The forecast does not predict what will happen, but rather serves as a guide to the as-yet-unwritten future. It is designed to help you see connections among things that once seemed unrelated and to help you consider the changes and challenges that you are facing today within the context of wider patterns of change.\n\nUltimately, the 2020 Forecast aims to provoke your own thinking about what role you want to play in creating the future of learning."

Hot topic - How do we reclaim the radical? | Bassac - 0 views

  •  
    Community organisations are increasingly agents of the state, and no longer radical champions of social justice. Ruth Townsley, Voice and Impact manager, questions whether community organisations are losing their critical voice. The independent voice of the sector, the voice that challenges the 'one size fits all' policies of government, and which calls to account statutory services, the voice which connects with marginalised groups of many types to ensure they are not bypassed by the generic central government solutions, is being eroded.
  •  
    If you are drawing down public funding, there has to be some agreement between funder and community organisation - otherwise why would we be given the money? I think we have to be subversive and creative, and tweak funding to fulfil our learners' needs.

The Chronicle, 11/9/2006: Social Change and the Connected Age - 0 views

  • Social Change and the Connected Age
    • william doust
       
      Social Media phenomenon harnessed for social change & charities... Please read this - as it has plenty of examples of the tide shifting to connected individuals who want active participation! - not passive purse and pocket trawling! - forward thinking charities are harnessing people's existing behavioursa and passions with social media.
  • Connectedness does not come from technology but is facilitated and strengthened by it. The greatest challenge for nonprofit organizations and their leaders in the connected age is recognizing that using social-media tools is easy compared with adopting a new mindset for social change. Today, nonprofit groups are part of a larger network or ecosystem of people, organizations, resources, and information. Relying on old-fashioned, top-down management approaches for setting activist agendas and designing fund-raising and volunteering efforts will lead inevitably to disappointing results. Power is shifting from institutions to individuals throughout society. We have seen what happens when people can barter and sell goods without a middleperson on eBay, and when we can watch what we want, when we want, through YouTube. The same sorts of shifts are happening quietly in the nonprofit world. Anyone can create and post a video of what they think their Congressional representatives do all day as part of the "Congress in :30 Secs" campaign organized by the Sunlight Foundation. Volunteers can document the connections between campaign contributions and legislation as part of the Genocide Intervention Network. Donors can pick a school and a specific project to support as part of the DonorsChoose Web site. Successful connected-age organizations are those that facilitate broadly representative networks of social activists — not necessarily organizations with the biggest membership lists or the most money in their coffers. These days, young people, in particular, are not likely to join behemoth membership organizations. Instead, they go online to express their views and instantly connect with individuals and communities interested in their issues and concerns. They also self-organize for social action as so many did in joining the immigration marches last spring.
